2022 OUTDOOR SEASON

The evenings are getting longer and the temperatures are slowly getting warmer, as summer approaches.

From a Track & Field perspective, this can mean only one thing. The outdoor season is here!

For those of you new to athletics this can often be a confusing time, but it’s really easy… we promise!

Competition can be broken down in to four categories.  Click any of these titles for more information;

WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

OK, so you’ve done the training.  Maybe you feel as though you are ready to officially record a time/height/distance and compete against other athletes?

To do this, you will need to be a fully paid up club member (membership).This will give you an England Athletics user number, something you will need to enter a competition.

All performances will be recorded on the Power of 10, a statistics website that has recorded all UK results and age group rankings since 2006.  This website allows users to manage their own profile: new user form

LEAGUE MATCHES

Each League usually has four fixtures.

Athletes earn points for the club, according to their competition finish position.

League tables are created, with promotion and relegation usually at stake.

Make sure you have contacted your relevant Team Manager to let them know your availability and what events you would like to do.  Please don’t rely on them to chase you!

  • The first Avon Track & Field League (all ages) is scheduled for 12th June at Yate (TBC)
  • The first Lower Age Group YDL (U13/U15) fixture is 8th May at Yate
  • The first Upper Age Group YDL (U17/U20) fixture is 24th April at Yate
  • The first Midland League (seniors) fixture is 22nd May at Cheltenham
  • The first National Athletics League (seniors) fixture is 7th May at Milton Keynes
CHAMPIONSHIPS

Your opportunity to win a medal!

County Championships entry is now open.  Here are links to three local counties:

It is each individuals responsibility to enter these championships.

There is no team selection policy.

There are no qualifying standards to attain.

Later on in the year, consider entering the South West Championships to be held on July 24th.

OPEN MEETINGS

Open Meetings are there for anybody to enter and are a great way for athletes to record a performance without any of the pressures of medals or points.

Check our Fixtures List for Open Meetings (as well as every other competition).  These are happening all over the country and can be entered by all England Athletics registered athletes (club members).

Also check the “Links” section of this page to search for competitions we may have missed.

SCHOOLS

Make sure your PE Teacher is aware you want to enter the “District Trials”.  This is the first step on the Schools Championships ladder.  Do this in May!

Track Busy this weekend

/in , , /by

Just to confirm the track is booked on SATURDAY 21/04/18 by North Somerset so there is NO TRAINING for Yate and
District AC on Saturday 21/04/17 at all.

Next Wednesday evening the 25th April there is an open competition from 6.00 pm run jointly by YATE & District AC and Bristol and West AC so there will be no Yate AC academy sessions. We would, however, encourage you all to enter the event. There are quad kid events too, (75 m, 600 m long jump & vortex throw) so everyone should be able to give it a go. Don’t forget the team managers will be able to see the results which helps them in team selection, how will they be able to select you if they don’t know how well you do and what you like doing?
Please go to the front page of our web site, click on the entry details, its entry on the night, so just turn up, pay and compete! For some of you this may be your first taste of competition, so what better way to start at your own track, with all the friendly faces you know around to help!

Last bit of news. Don’t forget the entries for the Avon County Championships close on 5/05/18, last year we had a great Yate representation in the event so get those entries in!
